I owned and gigged GK Pro blanca, GK Studio blanca, 55FCE, and FCWE Reissue. The first two are made in China, and the latter two in Spain. The GK Studio was the least quality made, sounding, and playing. But it was still a decent guitar for the money. When I stopped playing my latin-jazz stuff for a few years, I sold all but the FCWE Reissue. The one I really wanted to keep was the GK Pro. Loved that guitar! But a guy wanted it and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Anyways... I'd still trade my FCWE Reissue for the right GK Pro if that says anything. Yeah... I think the Pro is worth the price difference between it and the Studio... in build quality, playability, and tone.
